The traditional graphics solution is to explicitly decompose the input image into geometry, material and lighting via differentiable rendering; but this is constrained by the multiple assumptions and approximations of the underlying models and parameterizations of these scene components. We propose 3DPR, an image-based relighting model that leverages generative priors learnt from multi-view One-Light-at-A-Time (OLAT) images captured in a light stage. We introduce a new diverse and large-scale multi-view 4K OLAT dataset of 139 subjects to learn a high-quality prior over the distribution of high-frequency face reflectance. We leverage the latent space of a pre-trained generative head model that provides a rich prior over face geometry learnt from in-the-wild image datasets. The input portrait is first embedded in the latent manifold of such a model through an encoder-based inversion process. Then a novel triplane-based reflectance network trained on our lightstage data is used to synthesize high-fidelity OLAT images to enable image-based relighting. Our reflectance network operates in the latent space of the generative head model, crucially enabling a relatively small number of lightstage images to train the reflectance model. Combining the generated OLATs according to a given HDRI environment maps yields physically accurate environmental relighting results. Through quantitative and qualitative evaluations, we demonstrate that 3DPR outperforms previous methods, particularly in preserving identity and in capturing lighting effects such as specularities, self-shadows, and subsurface scattering.","lang":"eng"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"day":"14","citation":{"apa":"Rao, P., Meka, A., Zhou, X., Fox, G., Mallikarjun, B.

A longstanding challenge in robotics is to emulate\r\nthis capability of natural organisms, which has motivated the development of\r\nnumerous soft robotic systems. However, such systems are generally optimized\r\nfor a single functionality, lack the ability to change form or function on\r\ndemand, or remain tethered to bulky control systems. To address these\r\nlimitations, we present a framework for designing and controlling robots that\r\nutilize distributed actuation. We propose a novel building block that\r\nintegrates 3D-printed bones with liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) muscles as\r\nlightweight actuators, enabling the modular assembly of musculoskeletal robots.\r\nWe developed LCE rods that contract in response to infrared radiation, thereby\r\nproviding localized, untethered control over the distributed skeletal network\r\nand producing global deformations of the robot. To fully capitalize on the\r\nextensive design space, we introduce two computational tools: one for\r\noptimizing the robot's skeletal graph to achieve multiple target deformations,\r\nand another for co-optimizing skeletal designs and control gaits to realize\r\ndesired locomotion. We validate our framework by constructing several robots\r\nthat demonstrate complex shape morphing, diverse control schemes, and\r\nenvironmental adaptability.

Comprehensive knowledge of geometry and illumination is critical for obtaining photorealistic results. Current methods are unable to explicitly model in 3D while handling both viewpoint and illumination editing from a single image. In this paper, we propose VoRF, a novel approach that can take even a single portrait image as input and relight human heads under novel illuminations that can be viewed from arbitrary viewpoints. VoRF represents a human head as a continuous volumetric field and learns a prior model of human heads using a coordinate-based MLP with individual latent spaces for identity and illumination. The prior model is learned in an auto-decoder manner over a diverse class of head shapes and appearances, allowing VoRF to generalize to novel test identities from a single input image. Additionally, VoRF has a reflectance MLP that uses the intermediate features of the prior model for rendering One-Light-at-A-Time (OLAT) images under novel views. We synthesize novel illuminations by combining these OLAT images with target environment maps. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness of VoRF for relighting and novel view synthesis, even when applied to unseen subjects under uncontrolled illumination. This work is an extension of Rao et al. (VoRF: Volumetric Relightable Faces 2022). We provide extensive evaluation and ablative studies of our model and also provide an application, where any face can be relighted using textual input."}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_published":"2024-04-01T00:00:00Z","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","ddc":["000"],"year":"2024","intvolume":"       132"},{"quality_controlled":"1","type":"conference","external_id":{"isi":["001282218200059"]},"_id":"18912","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"This paper presents a computational method for automatically creating fabricable 3D wire sculptures from various input modalities, including 3D models, images, and even text. There are several challenges to wire art creation. For example, artists must express the desired visual as a sparse wire representation. It is also difficult to manually bend wires in the air without guidance to fabricate the designed 3D curves. Our workflow solves these challenges by using two core techniques. First, we present an algorithm that automatically generates a fabricable 3D curve representation of the target based on a loss function that measures the semantic distance between the rendered curve and the target. The loss function can be defined using different pre-trained vision-language neural networks to generate wire art from different input types. The loss function is then optimized using differentiable rendering specifically targeting 3D parametric curves. Our method can incorporate various fabrication constraints on the wire as additional regularization terms in the optimization process. Second, we present an algorithm to generate a 3D printable jig structure that can be used to fabricate the generated wire path. The major challenge in the jig generation stems from the design of an intersection-free surface mesh for 3D printing, which we address with our inflation algorithm. The experimental results indicate that our method can handle a wider range of input types and can produce physically fabricable wire shapes compared to previous wire generation methods. Various wire arts have been fabricated using our 3D-printed jig to demonstrate its effectiveness in 3D wire bending."}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"citation":{"ieee":"K. Tojo, A. Shamir, B.

Existing methodologies in portrait relighting demonstrate substantial limitations in terms of generalization and 3D consistency, coupled with inaccuracies in physically realistic lighting and identity preservation. Furthermore, personalization from a single view is difficult to achieve and often requires multiview images during the testing phase or involves slow optimization processes. This paper introduces Lite2Relight , a novel technique that can predict 3D consistent head poses of portraits while performing physically plausible light editing at interactive speed. Our method uniquely extends the generative capabilities and efficient volumetric representation of EG3D, leveraging a lightstage dataset to implicitly disentangle face reflectance and perform relighting under target HDRI environment maps. By utilizing a pre-trained geometry-aware encoder and a feature alignment module, we map input images into a relightable 3D space, enhancing them with a strong face geometry and reflectance prior. Through extensive quantitative and qualitative evaluations, we show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in terms of efficacy, photorealism, and practical application. This includes producing 3D-consistent results of the full head, including hair, eyes, and expressions. Lite2Relight paves the way for large-scale adoption of photorealistic portrait editing in various domains, offering a robust, interactive solution to a previously constrained problem."}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","type":"conference","citation":{"short":"P.

Generic approaches like voxel grids are versatile, but it is cumbersome to represent and edit individual structures; architecture-specific approaches address these issues, but are incompatible with one another. By contrast, our procedural graph succinctly represents the construction process for any structure using a simple skeleton annotated with spatially varying thickness. To express the highly constrained triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) in this manner, we present the first fully automated version of the conjugate surface construction method, which allows novices to create complex TPMS from intuitive input. We demonstrate our representation’s expressiveness, accuracy, and compactness by constructing a wide range of established structures and hundreds of novel structures with diverse architectures and material properties.

Nowadays, it can also be performed via automated machines that weave threads with high spatial accuracy. A characteristic feature of the appearance of the threads is a high degree of anisotropy. The anisotropic behavior is caused by depositing thin but long strings of thread. As a result, the stitched patterns convey both color and direction. Artists leverage this anisotropic behavior to enhance pure color images with textures, illusions of motion, or depth cues. However, designing colorful embroidery patterns with prescribed directionality is a challenging task, one usually requiring an expert designer. In this work, we propose an interactive algorithm that generates machine-fabricable embroidery patterns from multi-chromatic images equipped with user-specified directionality fields.We cast the problem of finding a stitching pattern into vector theory. To find a suitable stitching pattern, we extract sources and sinks from the divergence field of the vector field extracted from the input and use them to trace streamlines. We further optimize the streamlines to guarantee a smooth and connected stitching pattern. The generated patterns approximate the color distribution constrained by the directionality field. To allow for further artistic control, the trade-off between color match and directionality match can be interactively explored via an intuitive slider. We showcase our approach by fabricating several embroidery paths.","lang":"eng"}],"external_id":{"isi":["001000062600033"]},"type":"journal_article","quality_controlled":"1","has_accepted_license":"1","day":"08","citation":{"chicago":"Liu, Zhenyuan, Michael Piovarci, Christian Hafner, Raphael Charrondiere, and Bernd Bickel. “Directionality-Aware Design of Embroidery Patterns.” <i>Computer Graphics Forum</i>.

State-of-the-art fabrication techniques can manipulate both properties of the printed 3D objects. However, in the context of appearance reproduction, perceptual aspects of color and gloss are usually handled separately, even though previous perceptual studies suggest their interaction. Our work is motivated by previous studies demonstrating a perceived color shift due to a change in the object's gloss, i.e., two samples with the same color but different surface gloss appear as they have different colors. In this paper, we conduct new experiments which support this observation and provide insights into the magnitude and direction of the perceived color change. We use the observations as guidance to design a new method that estimates and corrects the color shift enabling the fabrication of objects with the same perceived color but different surface gloss. We formulate the problem as an optimization procedure solved using differentiable rendering. We evaluate the effectiveness of our method in perceptual experiments with 3D objects fabricated using a multi-material 3D printer and demonstrate potential applications.

We built an automated tattooing rig and a recipe for the creation of silicone sheets mimicking realistic skin tones, which allowed us to create an accurate model predicting tattoo appearance. This enables several exciting applications including tattoo previewing, color retargeting, novel ink spectra optimization, color-accurate prosthetics, and more."}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"date_published":"2023-07-26T00:00:00Z","user_id":"3E5EF7F0-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","ddc":["004"],"year":"2023","intvolume":"        42","article_number":"67","isi":1,"acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"M-Shop"}],"publication":"ACM Transactions on Graphics","date_updated":"2025-04-15T07:43:53Z","file_date_updated":"2024-04-16T05:52:18Z","scopus_import":"1","issue":"4","status":"public"},{"publication_status":"published","conference":{"name":"SIGGRAPH: Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques Conference","start_date":"2023-08-06","end_date":"2023-08-10","location":"Los Angeles, CA, United States"},"file":[{"access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","success":1,"date_created":"2023-06-19T11:02:23Z","file_size":78940724,"checksum":"a0b0ba3b36f43a94388e8824613d812a","file_name":"2023_ACMToG_Freire.pdf","creator":"dernst","file_id":"13156","relation":"main_file","date_updated":"2023-06-19T11:02:23Z"},{"access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","success":1,"date_created":"2023-06-20T12:20:51Z","file_size":34345905,"checksum":"b9206bbb67af82df49b7e7cdbde3410c","file_name":"2023_ACMToG_SuppMaterial_Freire.pdf","date_updated":"2023-06-20T12:20:51Z","file_id":"13157","creator":"dernst","relation":"main_file"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0730-0301"],"eissn":["1557-7368"]},"keyword":["PCB design and layout","Mesh geometry models"],"title":"PCBend: Light up your 3D shapes with foldable circuit boards","date_created":"2023-05-22T08:37:04Z","oa_version":"Submitted Version","acknowledgement":"We thank the reviewers for the valuable feedback.

To achieve a low-cost and scalable approach, we propose creating designs from flat PCB panels bent in-place along the surface of a 3D printed core. Working with standard rigid PCBs enables the use of\r\nestablished PCB manufacturing services, allowing the fabrication of designs with several hundred LEDs. \r\nOur approach optimizes the PCB geometry for folding, and then jointly optimizes the LED packing, circuit and routing, solving a challenging layout problem under strict manufacturing requirements. Unlike paper, PCBs cannot bend beyond a certain point without breaking. Therefore, we introduce parametric cut patterns acting as hinges, designed to allow bending while remaining compact. To tackle the joint optimization of placement, circuit and routing, we propose a specialized algorithm that splits the global problem into one sub-problem per triangle, which is then individually solved.\r\nOur technique generates PCB blueprints in a completely automated way. After being fabricated by a PCB manufacturing service, the boards are bent and glued by the user onto the 3D printed support. We demonstrate our technique on a range of physical models and virtual examples, creating intricate surface light patterns from hundreds of LEDs."}],"_id":"13049","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"external_id":{"isi":["001044671300108"]},"type":"journal_article","quality_controlled":"1","has_accepted_license":"1","citation":{"chicago":"Freire, Marco, Manas Bhargava, Camille Schreck, Pierre-Alexandre Hugron, Bernd Bickel, and Sylvain Lefebvre. “PCBend: Light up Your 3D Shapes with Foldable Circuit Boards.” <i>Transactions on Graphics</i>.

(3D) reconstruction of living brain tissue down to an individual synapse level would create opportunities for decoding the dynamics and structure–function relationships of the brain’s complex and dense information processing network; however, this has been hindered by insufficient 3D resolution, inadequate signal-to-noise ratio and prohibitive light burden in optical imaging, whereas electron microscopy is inherently static. Here we solved these challenges by developing an integrated optical/machine-learning technology, LIONESS (live information-optimized nanoscopy enabling saturated segmentation). This leverages optical modifications to stimulated emission depletion microscopy in comprehensively, extracellularly labeled tissue and previous information on sample structure via machine learning to simultaneously achieve isotropic super-resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio and compatibility with living tissue. This allows dense deep-learning-based instance segmentation and 3D reconstruction at a synapse level, incorporating molecular, activity and morphodynamic information. LIONESS opens up avenues for studying the dynamic functional (nano-)architecture of living brain tissue."}],"citation":{"ista":"Velicky P, Miguel Villalba E, Michalska JM, Lyudchik J, Wei D, Lin Z, Watson J, Troidl J, Beyer J, Ben Simon Y, Sommer CM, Jahr W, Cenameri A, Broichhagen J, Grant SGN, Jonas PM, Novarino G, Pfister H, Bickel B, Danzl JG. 2023.

However, making such materials printable requires painstaking trial-and-error by an expert operator,\r\nas they typically tend to exhibit peculiar rheological or hysteresis properties. Even in the case of successfully finding the process parameters, there is no guarantee of print-to-print consistency due to material differences between batches. These challenges make closed-loop feedback an attractive option where the process parameters are adjusted on-the-fly. There are several challenges for designing an efficient controller: the deposition parameters are complex and highly coupled, artifacts occur after long time horizons, simulating the deposition is computationally costly, and learning on hardware is intractable. In this work, we demonstrate the feasibility of learning a closed-loop control policy for additive manufacturing using reinforcement learning. We show that approximate, but efficient, numerical simulation is\r\nsufficient as long as it allows learning the behavioral patterns of deposition that translate to real-world experiences. In combination with reinforcement learning, our model can be used to discover control policies that outperform\r\nbaseline controllers. Furthermore, the recovered policies have a minimal sim-to-real gap. We showcase this by applying our control policy in-vivo on a single-layer, direct ink writing printer.

High-level-of-difficulty, or simply high-level, interlocking puzzles are a subclass of interlocking puzzles that require multiple moves to take out the first subassembly from the puzzle. Solving a high-level interlocking puzzle is a challenging task since one has to explore many different configurations of the puzzle pieces until reaching a configuration where the first subassembly can be taken out. Designing a high-level interlocking puzzle with a user-specified level of difficulty is even harder since the puzzle pieces have to be interlocking in all the configurations before the first subassembly is taken out.\r\n\r\nIn this paper, we present a computational approach to design high-level interlocking puzzles. The core idea is to represent all possible configurations of an interlocking puzzle as well as transitions among these configurations using a rooted, undirected graph called a disassembly graph and leverage this graph to find a disassembly plan that requires a minimal number of moves to take out the first subassembly from the puzzle. At the design stage, our algorithm iteratively constructs the geometry of each puzzle piece to expand the disassembly graph incrementally, aiming to achieve a user-specified level of difficulty. We show that our approach allows efficient generation of high-level interlocking puzzles of various shape complexities, including new solutions not attainable by state-of-the-art approaches."}],"external_id":{"isi":["000830989200018"]},"scopus_import":"1","issue":"4","ec_funded":1,"status":"public","isi":1,"date_updated":"2025-04-14T07:28:57Z","publication":"ACM Transactions on Graphics","file_date_updated":"2022-08-28T07:56:19Z"},{"publisher":"Wiley","article_processing_charge":"No","corr_author":"1","oa":1,"doi":"10.1111/cgf.14581","month":"09","department":[{"_id":"BeBi"}],"article_type":"original","volume":41,"author":[{"last_name":"Alderighi","full_name":"Alderighi, Thomas","first_name":"Thomas"},{"full_name":"Malomo, Luigi","last_name":"Malomo","first_name":"Luigi"},{"last_name":"Auzinger","full_name":"Auzinger, Thomas","orcid":"0000-0002-1546-3265","id":"4718F954-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Thomas"},{"first_name":"Bernd","id":"49876194-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-6511-9385","full_name":"Bickel, Bernd","last_name":"Bickel"},{"last_name":"Cignoni","full_name":"Cignoni, Paulo","first_name":"Paulo"},{"full_name":"Pietroni, Nico","last_name":"Pietroni","first_name":"Nico"}],"keyword":["Computer Graphics and Computer-Aided Design"],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0167-7055"],"eissn":["1467-8659"]},"oa_version":"Submitted Version","title":"State of the art in computational mould design","date_created":"2022-08-28T18:17:01Z","publication_status":"published","file":[{"file_size":32480850,"date_created":"2022-08-28T18:18:08Z","title":"pre-peer reviewed version","content_type":"application/pdf","description":"This is the pre-peer reviewed version of the following article: Alderighi, T., Malomo, L., Auzinger, T., Bickel, B., Cignoni, P. and Pietroni, N.

Comprehensive knowledge of geometry and illumination is critical for obtaining photorealistic results. Current methods are unable to explicitly model in 3D while handing both viewpoint and illumination editing from a single image. In this paper, we propose VoRF, a novel approach that can take even a single portrait image as input and relight human heads under novel illuminations that can be viewed from arbitrary viewpoints. VoRF represents a human head as a continuous volumetric field and learns a prior model of human heads using a coordinate-based MLP with separate latent spaces for identity and illumination. The prior model is learnt in an auto-decoder manner over a diverse class of head shapes and appearances, allowing VoRF to generalize to novel test identities from a single input image. Additionally, VoRF has a reflectance MLP that uses the intermediate features of the prior model for rendering One-Light-at-A-Time (OLAT) images under novel views. We synthesize novel illuminations by combining these OLAT images with target environment maps. Qualitative and quantitative evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness of VoRF for relighting and novel view synthesis even when applied to unseen subjects under uncontrolled illuminations.","lang":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","type":"conference","citation":{"short":"P.

Existing methods identify whether an assembly is structurally rigid by assuming parts are perfectly rigid. Yet, an assembly identified as rigid may not be that “rigid” in practice, and existing methods cannot quantify how rigid an assembly is. We address this limitation by developing a new measure, worst-case rigidity, to quantify the rigidity of an assembly as the largest possible deformation that the assembly undergoes for arbitrary external loads of fixed magnitude. Computing worst-case rigidity is non-trivial due to non-rigid parts and different joint types. We thus formulate a new computational approach by encoding parts and their connections into a stiffness matrix, in which parts are modeled as deformable objects and joints as soft constraints. Based on this, we formulate worst-case rigidity analysis as an optimization that seeks the worst-case deformation of an assembly for arbitrary external loads, and solve the optimization problem via an eigenanalysis. Furthermore, we present methods to optimize the geometry and topology of various assemblies to enhance their rigidity, as guided by our rigidity measure. In the end, we validate our method on a variety of assembly structures with physical experiments and demonstrate its effectiveness by designing and fabricating several structurally rigid assemblies.","lang":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":"1","type":"journal_article","day":"01","citation":{"apa":"Liu, Z., Hu, J., Xu, H., Song, P., Zhang, R., Bickel, B., &#38; Fu, C.-W.
